Something that always stresses me out that I’m sure one of the tech guru’s can help us with…

If you’re lucky enough to get to the point where you submit number of tickets (or similar) and you get a “tickets not available” message (or similar). Are you better off hitting the back button on your browser or refresh?

FWIW I always go back button and try and resubmit furiously as it feels I’m further down the line. I’m always concerned refresh will kick me back to the start.

Thanks in advance!

Definitely back

This happened to me in the October 2019 sale (for the cancelled 2020 festival) I got the all tickets have been allocated message.  I hit refresh and it managed to get the tickets allocated.

That clears that up then. Thanks 😀

I'm using a tplink for my Home office in the garage I'm tortured in trying to work out weather to use the office that's hardwired or stay indoors and use the WiFi but closer to the router. Any thoughts?

Bandwidth ie the speed of your connection is far less of an issue than it used to be as the bottlenecks now are with See's infrastructure being unable (although it is deliberately throttled to slow the sale...) to cope with demand.

If your wifi is stable from where you plan to mount your attack then hard wiring would give you no advantage tbh.

Thanks for the advice the only other benefit is I can focus rather then having the kids and dog all over me

It’s a big challenge for the festival, with inflation hitting for some time to come, they maybe changing their budget regularly. Could they keep the headline ticket price down but sneak in significantly higher parking, CV, Worthy View, etc. prices??

Would be quite a fair way of testing the waters, if inflation turns out to be fine don't raise parking etc but then if it doesn't then fair rises.

Got to wonder how much they could raise WV for example - its a luxury to some people (and necessary for others it seems), could push people into general camping to save money

The admin fee charged in refunding a cancelled booking or not following through with the balance payment after the deposit has always been significantly higher than the booking fee. Seem to recall the admin fee was £20 In 2017

I thought it used to be £10 but must be misremembering.

It was, but that was back when the deposit scheme started for the 2009 festival. It went up from 10 to 15 for the 2014 festival, then to 20 for the 2017 festival, and then again to 25 for what would have been the 2020 festival.

Ah fair enough. I've never not paid the balance so it's never come up before and I guess I just kept £10 lodged in my brain.

Which is the correct approach. The number doesn't matter if it's purely theoretical.

The accommodation sale sells out pretty quickly doesn't it? Suggests that they could go higher. 

I know at other festivals what glamping accommodation is on site isn't precisely pre-determined. They base it off what sells, and very careful manage the sale to make sure it all fits in the space they've got. 

Could they offer even more "luxury" options to test what people are willing to buy? How far does that then ruin the ethos of the festival....

I don't think it did last year? WV went fast and 2 person sticklinch, but i don't think the larger sticklinch options sold out completely in the end

If the luxury stuff is in WV and Sticklinch, not creeping in on general camping so they get better spots i have no issue at all to be honest

No, true. Hoping it remains theoretical next year but for my friend it might not so just checking out what that means in practice.
